While WestJet claims it’s optimistic an agreement will be reached, it hasn’t ruled out preemptive cancellations like it did in May’s pilot strike, which caused massive travel chaos. Flair Airlines stepped in then with cheap emergency flights, and Air Canada — still recovering from its own 2025 strike that disrupted 500,000 travelers — is now monitoring the situation closely, ready to help passengers but already maxed out for the busy August period. If you’re flying WestJet, start planning alternatives now — and if you’re eyeing Air Canada, book online fast, because their call centers are likely overwhelmed.
